Great replies. You guys definitely picked up on some that I missed. You know, I had thought about Steve Martin, too. I must have lost that thought before I finished (but then, in his later years he's really been kind of hit and miss with his comedy).What's really struck me lately is how funny Cancers can be. Will Ferrell, Robin Williams, and Bill Cosby all have extraordinary talent.

And their humor is usually based on the comedy of everyday life, with all of its absurdities. From what I know of myself and what I've seen in others, I think this is pretty typical of Cancer humor. We tend to tell stories on ourselves, and love to make others laugh. Also, Chris Rock - Aquarius IP: Logged |

I'm in the midst of packing so I don't know if I can find it right now... but I have a book that covers aspects of comedians. An afflicted/strong Saturn is very common as is having Saturn in the 1st House or in the 12th close to the Ascendant.I love Steve Martin's early stand-up routines, but his true gift is in writing. Also, The Talent Family of Amy Sedaris (Aries) and David Sedaris (Capricorn). They don't do stand-up, but their plays and books are brilliant comedy. Amy has done improv for years (she started in Second City with Paul Dinello and Steven Colbert) and is pure genius in Strangers with Candy. IP: Logged |

Taurus/gemini cusp ~ Thanks! Jane ~ I lurve the series in un-natural ways... But the movie was meh. I would rather have seen a recap of "best o' the series" because that would have been funnier. But, it was SWC so it has a place in my dvd collection. Oh, and thanks for listing Saunders - one of my faves! I had to add French, and that started me thinking of all the other BritCom peeps... So I added a few of 'em to the list. Also, I made a few corrections, ya'll. Andy Kaufman was not an Aquarius Sun, he was a Capricorn (17 Jan 1949 - same day, different year from Jim Carrey). And Tracey Ullman is not an Aquarius, either - she is also a Capricorn. And Johnny Carson is a Libra, but he has a Scorpio Ascendant, and his birthday is around the wobbly time when Libra becomes Scorpio. But I double-checked his Libranosity. Here is the new, totally totaled-up list: Aries: Conan O'Brien, Charlie Chaplin, Eddie Murphy, Vince Vaughn, Mitch Hedberg, Louie Anderson, Amy Sedaris, David Letterman, Spike Milligan, Eric Idle, Aries Spears Taurus: Stephen Colbert, Ryan Stiles, Michael Palin, Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld, Kevin James, Cedric the Entertainer, George Carlin, Tina Fey, Kenan Thompson, Hank Azaria, Carol Burnett, Craig Ferguson, Al Franken(may be a Gem if born after 5pm), Jane's boyfriend , Ben Elton, Dudley Moore, Eric Morecambe (of duo "Morecambe & Wise"), Michael Palin, Debra Wilson, Nicole Sullivan Gemini: Dana Carvey, Mike Myers, Wayne Brady, Jim Belushi, Bob Hope, Dean Martin, Matt Stone, Drew Carey, Bill Hader, Jim Breuer, Dean Martin, Sandra Bernhard, Joan Rivers, Gene Wilder, Michael Showalter ("Stella", "The State"), Hugh Laurie (best known in the US as "House"), Jerry Stiller Cancer: Will Ferrell, Robin Williams, Bill Cosby, Dan Aykroyd, Ricky Gervais, David Spade, Gilda Radner, Jim Gaffigan, Dave Barry, Jennifer Saunders, Jane Lynch Leo: Steve Martin, Cyrus Broacha, Steve Carrell, Maya Rudolph, Andy Samberg, Kristen Wiig, Richard Belzer, Denis Leary, Lucille Ball, Michael Ian Black & David Wain ("Stella", "The State"), Alexei Sayle, Gracie Allen Virgo: Adam Sandler, Bill Murray, Cheri Oteri, Dave Chappelle, Jack Black, Jimmy Fallon, Lily Tomlin, Lewis Black, Molly Shannon, Amy Poehler, Rita Rudner, Jane Curtain, Louis CK, Stephen Fry, Lenny Henry, Peter Sellers, Anne Meara Libra: Carlos Mencia, Bernie Mac, Phil Hartman, Trey Parker, Chris Kattan, Darrell Hammond, Lenny Bruce, Janeane Garofalo, Norm MacDonald, Christopher Titus, Penny Marshall, Chevy Chase, Groucho Marx, Dawn French, Sacha Baron Cohen ("Borat"), Johnny Carson Scorpio: John Cleese, Tracy Morgan, Rodney Dangerfield, Jonathan Ross, Owen Wilson, John Candy, Roseanne Barr, Richard Jeni, Whoopi Goldberg, Dennis Miller, Kathy Griffin, Goldie Hawn, Dick Smothers, Andy Richter, Seth MacFarlane (creator, Family Guy), Peter Cook, Judy Tenuta Sagittarius: Colin Mochrie, Sarah Silverman, Jon Stewart, Richard Pryor, Bill Hicks, Fred Armisen, Woody Allen, Sam Kinison, Ray Romano, Margaret Cho, Garry Shandling, Steve Wright, Ben Stiller, Sammy Davis Jr., Red Foxx, Tim Conway, Dick Van Dyke, Eugene Levy, Billy Connelly, Paul Dinello, Ernie Wise Capricorn: Graham Chapman, Dave Foley, Jim Carrey, Steve Harvey, Seth Meyers, Dave Attell, Bill Maher, Rainn Wilson, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Paul Rodriguez, Paula Poundstone, David Sedaris, Cary Grant, Mary Tyler Moore, Betty White, Rowan Atkinson, Jane Horrocks, Tracey Ullman, Steve Allen, Shawn Wayans, Andy Kaufman, Josh Meyers, Michael McDonald, Joey Adams, Quentin Crisp, Alan King Aquarius: Chris Farley, Chris Rock, Eddie Izzard, John Belushi, Ellen Degeneres, Henry Rollins, Kathy Najimy, Chris Parnell, Tim Meadows, Christopher Guest, Matt Groening (creator - The Simpsons and Futurama), Adrian "Ade" Edmondson, Nigel Planer, Terry Jones, Emo Phillips, Andy Milonakis Pisces: Billy Crystal, Lee Evans, Jerry Lewis, Dane Cook, Queen Latifah, Rachel Dratch, D.L.

(Sorry to go off topic)Neferemi - I share your unnatural love for the series. I'm almost tempted to make a natal chart for its original air date and check my synastry with it. Now who's crazy in love? What were your fav eps? I loved the one with the blind guy and when she's illiterate. Almost all of them are winners though. LOL at who you kept on the Taurus list . Thanks for taking my word for it. I think Jennifer Saunders and AbFab are brilliant. My sister can do the best Patsy impression. You'll just have to take my word on that too. IP: Logged |

Jane ~ There are SO MANY episodes I LURVE! "To Be Young, Talented & Blank," (she's cast in A Raisin in the Sun) and "A Burden's Burden" (she has to take care of a real baby for family class - "Dizzy") and "Who Wants Cake?" (she tattles on her lockermate in trade for a day at Good Time Island - oooh, the tape read by Wilford Brimly the Oatmeal Guy!)I don't know what time the first episode aired - just the date. But I figure it's an Aries Sun so I figure we're meant for each other. Oh and your sis & I should have a Pats-off sometime! AG ~ quote: The guy who plays House is a comic genius? Really?
Yup. I wouldn't lead you astray - I take comedy seriously. Hugh Laurie began his career in stand-up. He won the first comedy prize given by the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He met Stephen Fry & they formed a comedy duo, had a series in the UK and several specials... He was also on Blackadder for years (Rowan Atkinson's show). He also was Wooster on BBC's Jeeves & Wooster (with Fry as Jeeves). So comic, yes. Genius is always up to the individual... I would label Laurie genius above Dane Cook - but someone else may not like BritWit at all and think Cook is hilair. IP: Logged |
